1, 3 butadiene is a colorless, synthetic gas or liquid which is used as a chemical intermediate or as monomer (a molecule that can make bond with other similar molecules to form a polymer). 1, 3butadiene is highly used in manufacturing of synthetic rubbers or elastomers. Further, 1, 3butadiene is highly insoluble in water and is highly soluble in ethanol, ether, acetone and benzene. Furthermore, different types of polymers and monomers can be produced by using 1, 3 butadiene such as styrene-butadiene rubber, nitrile rubber, polychloroprene and poly butadiene rubber. Such polymers and monomers are used to produce goods and materials such as tire products, paper coating, carpet, plastic materials, gloves, wetsuits, gaskets, waders and others. 1, 3 butadiene is a flammable gas and in presence of oxygen it forms explosive peroxides by oxidization process. 1, 3 butadiene is dangerous for humans and direct exposure of 1, 3 butadiene can cause irritation of eyes & throat, headache, low blood pressure, unconsciousness and other hazardous effects on human body.

Market Size & Forecast

Global 1, 3 butadiene market is projected to flourish at a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) during the forecast period.
